3. Drexel Hamilton analysts commented, "We believe Workday will slightly exceed our 1Q:FY18 revenue estimate of $467.1 million (Street is at $468.1 million) and meet our EPS estimate of $0.17 (Street is at $0.16). Our 1Q:FY18 revenue forecast calls for 7% QoQ growth and below the four-year average of up 11% for past April quarters. Workday’s 1Q:FY18 outlook calls for sales of $467 million to $468 million. For 1Q:FY18, we are modeling Subscription Services revenue of $392.5 million (up 40% YoY) and Professional Services sales of $74.6 million (up 14%)." (5/31/2017)

4. Jefferies Group LLC analysts commented, "WDAY exceeded all metrics on the back of several large deals in its F4Q, which apparently had become the expectation given publicly disclosed large deals (Walmart) and others, driving the stock up to greater than $90 from $66 after last quarter's conference call. Guidance for next year was raised and implies conservatism our opinion. Workday has adopted ASC 606 for F18." (2/28/2017)

5. Stifel Nicolaus analysts commented, "After the close on Monday, Workday delivered a strong print to end the year that included total revenue, subscription revenue, operating margins, and reported billings coming in ahead of both management's guidance and consensus estimates. More importantly, management's tone on the call saw a marked improvement from last quarter after business bounced backed strongly in December and January following heightened customer uncertainty in mid-October/November that was reportedly tied to Brexit and the recent U.S. presidential election. In fact, despite this temporary lull, Workday posted its strongest quarter in history that saw the company finish with 1,520 HCM customers (136 in the Fortune 500; 13 of which were added in 4Q alone), 320 Financials customers (up over 54% Y/Y), and 111 and 100+ Planning and Learning customers respectively despite both products only being in the market for two quarters."

Workday (NASDAQ:WDAY) Analysts' Consensus Rating

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for company stocks using the most recent rating from each brokerage that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Since brokers often use different ratings systems, each rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0-1.5 = Sell, 1.5-2.5 = Hold, 2.5-3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.

MarketBeat will no longer include ratings and price target data in its consensus calculation if a broker drops coverage and MarketBeat has received a report that coverage was dropped. Ratings from certain research firms that issue ratings using purely quantitative methods (such as Zacks, Vetr and ValuEngine) are not included in consensus calculations. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.
